Thanks a lot for the information, it’s always interesting to see stats given in this way. I agree it would be perhaps more interesting to see more prescriptive data.

Thanks.

I’ve seen a lot of the pitch f/x data analyzed in a very cool way lately. Thanks for that!

However, I do have one major concern about all this: none of these data (i.e. swinging strikes) exist in a vacuum. If hitting is timing, and pitching is all about upsetting timing, then I think it would be a worthwhile exercise to examine pitch sequencing within a pitcher/ hitter encounter.

For Brandon Morrow, it’d be _really_ interesting to see something like “for his relief appearances, when he threw a fastball preceeded by a change, he saw x% increase in the likelihood of a whiff on the fastball…”

To me, that would be more interesting, because those data could be prescriptive — it could affect pitch sequencing in games. I would be interested in working on something like this, if you guys are willing to share the data that you’ve collected and processed.

Thanks!

Nice post. I’d be interested to see the average increase in the swinging strike rate when a pitcher moves to the bullpen from the rotation. I know sample size may be an issue, as not many guys get significant time as both a starter and a reliever in one season, but I think it would be a worthwhile look.

Matthew,

I’d love to know the overall composite distribution of results per pitch for starters. Your, 6% swinging strike rate for fastballs from starters is an interesting figure – I would have guessed slightly higher.

So.. what about the rate of taken strike, foul, ball and ball in play? (maybe need an other for hbp…anyway) And then how does this distribution compare to other common pitches like curves, sliders and change-ups? Am I blowing the cover of another blog post?

This is great info. Gotta love Pitch F/X data.
